Resolution
Labor is charged to specific GL accounts via Dept # and Facility in the Payroll LABDIS file.
When you report labor time to a mfg order, it will be passed to PR with the facility id for the
operation reported.
To report indirect labor:
1. Define dummy facility records for each indirect labor type that you want to report. If you
leave DEPARTMENT blank, it defaults to the home department for the employee reporting
the labor, which allows you to define different LABDIS accounts for each department/
indirect type combination. If you fill in DEPARTMENT in the facility record, you will need a
different facility record for each GL indirect account.
2. Open a dummy mfg order for indirect labor. Define a separate operation for each indirect
labor type, with reference to the appropriate facility.
3. Clock on and off indirect labor just as you do for direct labor, except that you use RUN
TYPE = "I". With run type "I", the labor time is sent to PR (with dept & facility), but the
dummy mfg order is not updated. For more information about Run Type, see Solution ID:
16sql10286 (link).
NOTE: Some companies want to accumulate indirect labor time/cost on the dummy order, to
facilitate analysis of total indirect labor hours/cost period-to-date and year-to-date. This can
be done by using RUN TYPE = "R". If you choose this approach, and you have selected
general ledger distribution for PCC, with interface activated for LRSA and LOHD transaction
types, LRSA and LOHD transactions will be sent to the interface file PCCTXN for all
transactions with run type = R, including your indirect transactions.
This may cause the indirect transactions to be double-posted: as indirect labor via Payroll, and
as direct labor via the PCC/GL interface, when you run the PMC Prepare function. You may
want to define separate PCC General Ledger interface account assignment rules for LRSA
and LOHD for your indirect labor transactions, selecting on order number or order accounting
code in the mfg order master record. If the rules define the same account for both charge and
offset, the net affect on the ledger should be zero.
Important Note: Indirect labor reported through PMC (run type code = I) does not write a record to mfg
order transaction file MOTRAN.
Note:
You cannot enter indirect labor in PCC shop activity update.
